    Eldora.

    Come on, the track is in horrible shape tonight. Who is doing track prep? It gets raced on so little, they have no clue about it anymore. The Dream, the million and the kings royal all had single file rstarts because of a lousy track.

    Drag racing is more important right now.

      Their idea of track prep is a sheepfoot marathon. And a sprinkle of water.
      If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention!

        Really only started paying close attention to super late model racing since 2015, and actually watching live national races since subscription based streaming took over in 2020 but Eldora Speedway is by far, the most overrated thing in dirt racing. It had to of been way better before I starting watching? It's probably not even a top 10 bucket list track for me.

          This place died when Earl died.

              I agree, it was buried along with Earl. Never was a Stewart fan to begin with. It’s a crime if Eldora isn’t kept up in a way that it deserves …race surface wise anyway. Sure having a party destination is fun…but in the end, people want to see some excitement when the dirt is flying.

                This was always part of it but the best part was the racing. Then came tony....

                  It was. I live close to Eldora and don’t go any more. It didn’t use to be that way either. Tony killed the track surface when he NASCAR’ized it for the Trucks.

                    i've been going to eldora since the 70's and not all of earl's race were that good either. the biggest problem for tony is that since he got the track in i think around 2006, the cars have changed dramatically and that hasn't helped racing anywhere. the cars are killing racing.

                      I'm glad to see someone gets it. I can remember some snoozers there from the 90s.

                          That’s a fact. People act as if Eldora ever raced great. There’s been some good races here and there but there was just as many snoozers when Earl had the track.

                            Any one remember when Eldora was a sh*t hole. By the time the feature hit you were overcome by sewer smell, pis* running out of the restrooms , stewart just prettied it up for his Nascrap cronies albeit improvements were much needed. Track and racing wise for Stewart to be a supposedly die hard dirt guy , he's not or can't get track prep figured out . Plus the latemodels of today aren't conducive to race good at Eldora or most 1/2 mile tracks.

                              the cars plus the track make everything too fast for much good racing, anymore. Whenever you hear someone fantasizing about Eldora..its not for the racing, but the party. Its a spectacle for any dirt fan to go see once..but after that, unless you want to spend 4 days wasted, theres not a lot of good racing to watch.
